Stephen had a deathbed vision in Acts 7. Have to admit, it wasn't an auntie, it was Jesus. But since Stephen probably knew Jesus while He was on earth, that would have been a familiar face.

Hope it works out well for her.

Interesting and rather beautiful, that extract from the Targum, Jason. By the way - where do you read the Targum? Is it available online, or is it somehting you bought? It must throw a fair bit of light on some of the more obscure OT passages.

My sister who is a nurse said that many times her patients knew when ther time had come, telling her she wouldn't see them again when said goodbye as she went off duty. They seemed very peaceful about it.

What you are doing is such a worthwhile thing. I will be praying for all of you involved in this ministry.

Well, I do think it is a relief to realise that it is for God to know, and for us to trust Him, love Him and obey His commands.

So far as I know, the word 'apostle' means one who is sent away, or in other words a messenger. So I guess in its original sense, we have plenty of them today. Missionaries, for example, or anyone else who is sent on church business. I don't think it's a title that anyone can bestow on...

I think the nature of God is way beyond the grasp of our human brains; the truth is bigger than all of us, although each of us has a glimpse of it. The doctrine of the Trinity probably is the 'best fit' for the facts we have, but as soon as we start arguing the finer points of it, we are in...

Praying that your friend will see the living Christ in your life, and that he will be led to seek greater truth. And that you will have wisdom in all your dealings with him.

Once you've "earned" a stigma in the community, it's really hard to shake it. I was seen as 'weird' in my schooldays (I guess I probably was!) and picking on me became a habit. I don't know how I could have changed that if I'd stayed in that community after I left school. I didn't. I moved to...

Hi Claudya You're amazing; the way you carry on with God's work in spite of your own difficulties. You come across as a very caring and understanding person in your posts. If you don't mind me asking: are you getting any professional help with your issues? i think I remember you saying in a...

I think what i really meant is this: Science is a study of the Creation. Christianity is a relationship with the Creator. They are not the same thing, and I can't see that they can be in conflict. All science can do is give us more information about our wonderful world. It can only observe and...

I hadn't hear of the One World Church; I had to look it up on Google. It sounds scary. Thankfully I don't think they've penetrated to my part of the world yet. Church rules should be from the Bible only; neither added to nor taken away from what is in the Bible.

Prayers with all concerned. Fires are terrible.

Apparently Vit B6 deficiency can also cause lack of dreams, and various mental health symptoms. And stress can cause Vit b6 deficiency. Is it worth being checked out by a holistic doctor? You are always in my prayers. You have come so far, and I'm sure God has an awesome plan for your life...

I think they're just people that haven't yet found the truth.

The problem is not science; science in its true form is the study of God's wonderful world. The problem is with those who state theories as facts, and arrogantly hold to them. True science will never conflict with Christianity.

Hi there Think of it this way: if we love someone, it is a joy to spend time with them, listen to them, get to know them more intimately. Getting to know Jesus is like that. Praying is part of it; also being still and listening for His voice. But a huge part of it is learning all we can of him...

Prayers with you. The situation with your Dad sounds very difficult. Praying for both him and you, and for the situations you worte about.

Hey, don't beat yourself up over one incident. If you got a lot of thank yous, postcards and presents, you must have made a positive impact on a lot of people. I bet if you made a list of the negative and the positive things that happened, the second list would be mush longer. And although you...
